Yet another 'Lomba' away from Home

I just found out that my folks at home are busy with the Lomba celebrations. This is one time of the year I miss home and my folks terribly. It's been ages since I was home on the occasion of Lomba. I have been trying to be gay all day laughing at silly jokes, overlooking others' fault and tried my best to be patient because I didn't want my new year to start on a bad note. On the whole the day's passed pretty well.

I still intend to clean my office and my house thoroughly. Afterwards I plan to cook many delicies and have nicely. This year at least I'm not lonely, God with his good grace has granted me with company of this wonderful person and I am happy and thankful of the presence of this person in my life.

2011 has been a pretty good year for me in terms of career development, financial gains and personal relationships. With God's grace everybody had good times. On this scared and joyous occasion my my New Year (Lomba), I wish everyone a Happy Lomba and a very successful and fulfilling year ahead.
May peace prevail on earth..

Lomba Tashi Delek @Everyone.

Spent my ‘National Day’ in the Coal Mines

Unusual as it sounds I have spent Bhutan’s 104^th National Day in the coal mines along with the truck drivers and laborers. The road to the mines was sheer nightmare; rough, bumpy and narrow.  Literally speaking, it was a roller-coaster ride.

Some 5 kms from Deothang, the SD Eastern Bhutan Coal mines stood. Acres of forest have scraped of its trees but it looks beautiful. I have always wanted to pay a visit after seeing the picture of the mines from a past Kuensel’s edition.

I meant to take my camera but the battery was dead before I could take one photo. As a result I had to resolve to using a friend’s mobile camera. I have spent the entire duration there taking pictures of the beautiful landscape but due to my poor photography skills I could not do justice to the mines. Some of the pictures I have uploaded to the sliding images on my blog.

The return journey wasn’t as scary also we did not meet so many trucks on the way. After spending sometime in Deothang we returned to Samdrup jongkhar. It was 3 pm in the afternoon.

Rest of the day was spent in watching BBS TV. With tears in my eyes, I have watched 4 times His Majesty’s National Day speech. The heartwarming words have renewed my sense of patriotism and love for our kings. Long live our kings and happy belated National Day.

Confused

In my effort to improve the outlook of my blog I have completely distorted it, lost the old settings and stuffs but I am happy that finally I'm adapting to change (I used to be afraid of changes in the past), which I suppose is a good thing.

In the coming days, I hope to improve everything about my blog and begin to write again. It's been so long without any post.
For today, I sign off....
